QUOTE(Edifier @ Mar 21 2018, 03:11 PM) Yeah, I got Seasonic X-760 that is still alive after 6 years. I removed it just to test Super Flower Leadex Gold 750W. Didnt switch back because I'm making use of available warranty.

Hopefully this is the last RMA for this unit  Thank goodness for 5 years warranty  Even worst still each RMA takes around 3-4 months to complete because distributor issue  Oddly enough I have two Seasonic units (S12II 620W and M12II 520W) that still worked fine This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Mar 21 2018, 05:40 PM

My Seasonic M12-II still alive and kicking. My Cooler Master V700 / V850 are Seasonic OEM - damn rock solid too.

Does anyone know what happened to high capacity power supplies? Kena makan by miners too?? Having a hard time to find hx/hxi 1000 or 1200 PSU Super flower was my first choice but they have an awfully low number of sata power cables and i dont trust molex adapters. Even evga supernova p2 seems like it has dissapeared from MY? Need at least 12 sata connectors for my threadripper nas build

Need at least 12 sata connectors for my threadripper nas build  Perhaps, considering the shortage of GPUs  Anyway - consider a high quality molex connector instead - usually most molex to SATA connectors tend to caught on fire due to poor quality: https://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/product.p...pid=545&area=enhttps://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/product.p...pid=383&area=enAlternatives: EVGA Supernova G2/G3 (or look for the Super Flower equivalent - Leadex Gold or the second revision, Leadex Gold II)

But somehow lucky manage to score a rm1000x at czone yesterday. Might notbbe platinum but I’m done trying to find a HX lol At least it has 11 SATA ports which is the bare minimum I need. Really didn’t know there were high quality Molex to SATA adapters!

hi, have a question. i am using Xigmatek Tauro 500W PSU for 3years plus already. recently i tried power on my computer, the motherboard running but nothing shows up on monitor, not even bios.
i disconnected the cable on my Optical drive and my PC can turn on.
i check online and suspected my PSU aging capacitor will deteriorate over time right?
i calculate power supply using Outervision and my Load wattage is about 470Watt.
should i change new PSU/ higher Watt?

Given both platinum rated psu as option below. I believe both psu in term of reliability, quality are quite equal and I check review both are built by CWT. and shud be tier 1 rated. My current psu is Seasonic X660w Gold Rated, I want to upgrade to platinum rated PSU before upgrading my rig. titanium rated is too exp.
thermal take tough power grand rgb 1200w RM910 corsair Hx 1200w RM1037
Thanks a bunch.
edited, its HX model not HXI

what is the sweet point for psu atm? I'm planning to run a pc for 24x7x365 so I'm planning to get a better psu to replace the FSP Hexa+ 550w that I'm currently using.
Budget: RM300 (willing to go more if needed) System power usage: ~60+ watt on idle, < 150w on full load, but mostly idle (e3 1231v3 + 1hdd + 3 case fan + 2 lan + 1 pendrive) Features that I'm looking for: 1. Semi modular/modular (better airflow and cable management) 2. Prefer to get a psu that is lower in power for better efficiency, but not too low as it would spin the fans and be noisy (the pc is currently as silent as I wanted it to)

QUOTE(Kristal.S @ Jun 14 2018, 06:44 PM) You could consider these: Super Flower Leadex Silver Full Modular PSU 550W - RM299 Super Flower Leadex Gold Full Modular PSU 550W - RM379 (Recommended) EVGA SUPERNOVA 550 G3 Gold - RM399 If you're willing to spend slightly more, a gold rated PSU with semi passive mode will be most ideal.  Thanks for the reply  how much more is more (from what you've shared, the difference between Silver and Gold is RM80 and so I assume that is the more?) and what do you mean by semi passive mode? EDIT: and where did you get this pricing from? I see that Super Flower Leadex Gold Full Modular PSU 550W is sold for RM425 at lazada This post has been edited by wcypierre: Jun 14 2018, 06:53 PM
